Wahnsinns Abfüllung! Der für mich mit Abstand beste 94er Velier Caroni... Gummi Teer und alles Dreckige, was man bei Caroni erwartet. Dennoch alles rund eingebunden. Zusätzlich findet man tolle Fruch/Holz und Gewürz Noten.
High viscosity, beautiful red gold. Wonderful polish and varnish notes, burnt sugar, spice. Tar, rubber and petrol, followed by overripe mango. Powerful, perfectly melted. Hammer nose. Then really cool in the mouth!!! Oily, full-bodied. Sweetness! Great spice, polish, etc. Awesome!!! 😁😁😁😁 Like the mouth and nose better than the straw hat. It can't deny its relationship to the 23 Guyana Stock either. Very complex without anything standing out. Of course not an easy sipper, every drop needs to be savored. The quintessence of a Caroni. Hammer.
#4446 03.11.2023 got some nice samples from a friend and though small they're still really good. This one is even better than the previous one. Light to medium fruity with nice spices. More oily in the palate and a nice smoky touch. Finish is very long and warm with light caramel.
Great 94 vintage with typical dirty Caroni aromas. Classic notes of rubber and tar unfold.
